1. Everything wrong is right again.

2. Step one: Create and maintain a boardwalk classic: Whack-a-mole
   Step two: Introduce bugs in the software controlling whack-a-mole that keep popping up only to be squashed back down with a consulting-mallet exactly modeling how the physical game works
   Step three:

   Sometimes, reality is literary.

3. BOGOST: FIX YOUR HIGH SCORE PUBLISHING. I BEAT MY PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE BY 38,100, I ACTUALLY SCORED MUCH HIGHER. THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!

4. #CF Click Friday: My Cow.

5. Five seconds of every number one 45 RPM record from 1965 through the 1990s.

   I was amazed how many I recognized.

   Disco still sucks.

6. In the Queen’s English, men don’t use airport paperback book titles like “Perfect Storm” and “Black Swan”.

7. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention. If you’ve been doing your own homework. But maybe, well, it seems to me at least, that Glenn Beck clicked a cow and made it moo in 1990.

   I mean, this is horrible to say, but who is this guy and who else clicks cows like that? I worry about my country. Oh I know who. Hitler clicked cows. I’m not drawing any conclusions there, but Glenn Beck clicked cows, and Hitler clicked cows. What could this mean?

8. Employees must wash their hands before returning from clicking.

12. Our neighbors (http://j.mp/hf1dDv) haven’t turned their kitchen light off in the 9 months we’ve lived here. They will henceforth be referred to as “The British Empire.”

13. Monitors are slippery.

14. My first night of the next dozen days of bachelorhood: oven-bake pizza and an nice bottle of 100% punch-in-the-face-lenoir Kaz Mainliner.

16. Smooth.

17. Paraphrasing: Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve-Mark1-Serial-Number-9108024-BEEEEEEP!

    That’s pronounced to only rhyme with ‘venus’ and ‘lenis’ and ‘venous’, afaik.

19. Happy Valentine’s Day!

20. This is the best game I’ve ever played.

21. Click goes in, moo comes out. Click goes in, a moo comes out. Click goes in, moo comes out. It always happens.

    Where does the click go? Where does the moo come from? There’s never a miscommunication.

    You can’t explain that.

22. OH MAMMA.

    (Nothing funny here, I just really dig this tune and the illustration only makes it better. NB: Not quite true to the greek.)

23. Nice chiasmus in the last sentence of Anon’s HBGary release.

    As for the rest of it, “respectfully”, the mixed-metaphors were distracting.

24. Taking Amanda Walker Stavely, lunch, a blanket, and a growler of beer to Dolores Park today for the game.
